Overall I've been thrilled with the way they dealt with my case. Always very upfront and honest, gave me all the possibilities, and never had to wait for them to get back to me. Often Stephen would respond by email or by phone within minutes of me sending an email, and often after hours even when I told him that wasn't necessary.
My case was resolved and settled and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Thomson Roger's, what can I say? LOTS!
First and foremost, Thank you, Stephen Birman and Erinna, you two are the very best. I'd also like to thank Stephen's team of many. You always made us feel like we were part of the team. Stephen and Erinna kept us up to date at all stages of this process, also, if we didn't understand something they were happy to explain it. Many time's if I called Stephen, he actually would pick up the phone...no receptionist, just directly. As for Stephen's assistant, Erinna, I talked to her on a weekly basis. We became friends, she's the best!

Without Thomson Rogers, I'm not sure what my future would hold. Without the professional and courteous help from the likes of Len, Alex, and Michael, it would be tedious trudging. In 2012, I lost both legs, below the knee, and had all 10 fingers, to the first knuckle, amputated. Pure and utter pain. Without their help, positive reinforcement, and supreme communication skills, my future would be bleak. The road ahead would have been an uphill battle, a real a tough climb too, so I'm eternally grateful for the help, and so glad they were on my side. With Thomson Rogers, you see, my future is not

I got into a motorcycle accident in 2016, and ever since I found Thomson Rogers they permanently changed my life. My lawyer was Carr Hatch, he was absolutely so patient with me dealing with my constant neediness and made sure my mind was at ease every step of the way. I can't emphasize the amount of gratitude that I owe to the Thomson Rogers team, especially to Carr. Highly recommend. Hopefully I never have to see you guys again but if something ever were to happen again, I know exactly where to go. Thanks again Guys!!

My husband was hit by a car and suffered very serious injuries. A family member who had Darcy Merkur from Thomson Rogers represent them advised that I contact Darcy for advice. From the moment Carmen and I met him at the Rehab Hospital, I knew that we were dealing with a caring and extremely skilled professional. Darcy gave us a clear understanding of the process and assured us that we would deal directly with him and his staff and he would make sure that my husband had the services he needed for his recovery. This gave me a great sense of relief.

I was in a car accident a few years ago & David MacDonald at Thomson Rogers was my lawyer. David & his team (Ian, Diane & Elaine) all did an excellent job! They were always quick to get back to me whenever I called and pleasant to deal with. David was very diligent and went above and beyond in handling my case. David's knowledge of the law and the written material he prepared (for example, a mediation memorandum) were outstanding & very persuasive. His analytical skills and judgment were very good as well. I recommend David highly.

My husband obtained Stephen Birman at Thompson Rogers for me. I suffered a very serious accident with multiple fractures. Stephen visited me at Sunnybrook hospital in 2017. I was very impressed with the focusing of the medical team he put in place for me. The care that I received during my treatment and recovery was incredible. Stephen was also… very responsive and supportive to my emails and with my insurance company handling and negotiating my settlement with them. He kept me informed of everything. Day night weekends it didn’t matter. Thompson Rogers and Stephen handled my case

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Darcy Merkur and his team at Thomson Rogers Lawyers. My daughter Zoe, who was 4 years old, was involved in an accident in 2010 whereby she lost her left leg. We were in a state of deep despair and darkness. We feel so lucky and extremely grateful to have met Darcy. He guided us through the legal process and was very clear on what we should and should not expect. He was very empathetic and understanding of our horrible situation. We felt confident with Darcy during the process and knew that we were in very capable hands with his guidance and expertise

I don't know where to start. In 2015 I was in a motor vehicle accident while cycling. I was referred to Thomson Rogers. Thank you Darcy Merkur, there is so much I want to say, but all the paper in the world is not enough for what I want to write. Thank you for believing in me and taking my case. Thank you for always being there for me and answering my emails and calls. Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for never giving up and always giving 150% of your time in everything you did for me and my family. Thank you for fighting for me and thank you for securing financially my life

I was involved in a motorcycle accident in 2014 and that was when I first met Darcy Merkur. Without his guidance, wisdom and perseverance I would not have been able to reach the resolution that was obtained. His knowledge was second to none and I would highly recommend his expertise to everyone. Thanks again Darcy.

In my opinion Darcy Merkur of Thomson and Rogers is the best lawyer in Ontario if not Canada. He always responded to my questions in a timely and truthful manner and was easy to get a hold of. He really helped to turn my case around. I look at Mr Merkur as a pitbull of a lawyer in the personal injury world. So do you want a pitbull on your side or a chihuahua?

On December 1, 2009 I was in a near fatal car accident that changed my life. Darcy Merkur from Thomson Rogers came to visit me in the hospital shortly after the accident. Darcy assured me that he would represent me, and he also assured me that I would receive the best care possible. He phoned me several times while I was in rehabilitation, and also had his law clerk document all of my injuries. Thanks to Darcy Merkur at Thomson Rogers I received the best care and a fair settlement. I hold the outmost respect for this gentleman and I would not hesitate to recommend Darcy Merkur and Thomson Rogers

My son was a pedestrian on a busy street in Toronto when he was hit by a car. During the months of medical care and rehab, Len Kunka and his staff were a wonderful support to ensure my son got the care and resources needed to get to recovery. They were patient and willing to provide the time necessary to get a fair settlement especially while dealing with a difficult insurance company. I would recommend Thomson Rogers highly.

Should you suffer an unfortunate crash, PEASE do no hesitate to contact Thomson Rogers! Ask for Sloan Mandel! He is an individual who is very knowledgeable, skilled and most important compassionate.

Oh boy, where to start... First of all, it was a nurse at my local hospital who suggested contacting a lawyer after my serious pedestrian vs car accident. Having never experienced anything like this before I didn’t see the need to have legal support going ahead. Thomson-Rogers was mentioned and I looked them up and came across the name of Darcy… Merkur. Darcy drove out to meet me at the hospital very soon afterward (an hour + away). From day one, he was very helpful, clearly very knowledgeable in the field and was always readily available to me personally. Having heard that he was
